Johns Hopkins University has banned Chick-fil-A from its campus saying that the restaurant is a “microaggression” against its students.
In an 18-8 vote, the Student Government Association at Johns Hopkins voted not to “support the proposal of a Chick-fil-A, in a current or future sense, particularly on any location that is central to student life.”
The anti-Chick-fil-A bill listed seven main reasons why the restaurant should be banned from campus. The first is that “the Student Government Association of Johns Hopkins University aims to provide a safe, supportive environment for all university affiliates now and in the future.”
The fourth is that “visiting prospective and current students, staff, faculty, and other visitors who are members of the LGBTQ+ community or are allies would be subjected to the microaggression of supporting current or future Chick-fil-A development plans.”
The sixth is that “several universities and colleges such as North Carolina State University and Indiana University have already launched efforts to ban already established Chick-fil-A’s.”
And the seventh is that the college should seek out “other similar non-discriminatory alternatives.”
